H2HB: 10 questions to ask your builder

1. Get budget savvy

Realistically, will the design meet the set budget, or will compromises need to be made?

Thomas Archer Homes

2. Consider your view

How can the design best capture the possible orientation of the block to allow optimum natural light and the most aesthetically pleasing outlook?

Martina Gemmola

3. Plan for life

Will each space within the house adequately cater for the way in which the home will be used?

John Downs

4. Grow with your home

How will the family grow into the house in years to come? For example, will spaces designed to suit a toddler still suit a teenager needing their own zone?

Sue Stubbs

5. Allow for guests

Will the home accommodate visiting guests if needed?

Sue Stubbs

6. Consider a study

Should the home incorporate a designated home office area?

Sue Stubbs

7. Work out living arrangements

Should the house – if double storeyed – incorporate a bedroom downstairs?

Shania Shegedyn

8. Get personal

Will the home be a true reflection of its owners’ personal style?

John Downs

9. Fit it in

Will the living zones adequately accommodate the designated furnishings, whether they be new or existing?

John Downs

10. Consider the finishes

Will the selected finishes, such as benchtop materials, flooring and joinery, be both practical and beautiful?
